I thought the template used for titles would run fine for authors, but I couldn't make it work. Here's what I want to automate via Action Chains:
One click executes a search and replace to change 'john smith' to 'John Smith'.
Tried this in bulk metadata dialog:
@chaley, I wonder if such a feature would be implementable/welcome in the bulk MDE, similar to the title case functionality.
edit: just found how to do this, without a template, in Bulk MDE: it's 'Apply function after replace'
